Hi all, I’m part of an organization on github that wants to publish a role to galaxy as that organization. My account in linked in galaxy as the account that is part of the organization and when I specify the “username” in the galaxy field, it continues to use my personal account instead of the organization account. I’m told that the organization itself doesn’t have a “user + password” combo anymore. Can anyone provide info on how to publish content on galaxy as the organization so that it doesn’t show up on galaxy as my personal account? Is this possible? Thanks, tim ---

Tim, Right now there's no way to do it; we don't map well to Github organizations, only Github user accounts. Stay tuned, though; we're currently evaluating some very big changes about how Galaxy interacts with Github. The basic idea: no more Galaxy user accounts, and anyone can upload any Github repo (though of course only the people who own the repo can actually change the contents.) Artificial distinctions between Galaxy and Github namespaces will go away. Also makes galaxy cli functionality for batch role management easier. We should have a demo to show in the coming weeks. --g ---

Thanks for the info Greg. I’ll stay on the look-out for this. Thanks! tim ---

Greg, How’s it coming with github organization support? I own the github organization “griidc”, under which I have created several ansible role repos. I would like those repos to be listed in galaxy as griidc.rolename. I cannot create a galaxy account for griidc because it is a github organization, not an account (and galaxy now only accepts github for new accounts). It looks like, currently, ansible namespaces are still tied to github usernames (I couldn’t find any way to change or create a new galaxy namespace). Will there be a way to create an ansible namespace for griidc? Thanks, James ---

If the github repo is under a github namespace, the corresponding galaxy repo will use the same namespace, period. If you have write access to the org according to the github api, you should have the ability to publish a galaxy role for that org. Your github username is irrelevant; what is relevant is the access your github id has. Hth. ---

I just found [https://github.com/ansible/galaxy-issues/issues/59](https://github.com/ansible/galaxy-issues/issues/59) and [https://galaxy-qa.ansible.com](https://galaxy-qa.ansible.com) The solution there works great: [https://galaxy-qa.ansible.com/detail#/role/6398](https://galaxy-qa.ansible.com/detail#/role/6398) Looking forward to the launch of 2.0. Thanks for the good work! James ---

Note that this only works in the beta site currently.
